So if all goes as planned, ill have a new to me 14' aluminum john boat with a 15hp tiller on the back and trolling motor on the front.

Give me some ideas for accessories i need to look into getting to add to my set up.

Id like to build a little deck on the front for fishing, and maybe some removable swivel seats on the benches.

What are some other ideas?

Do they sell like a fishing deck kit i can install on the front or do i need to design it myself?

I was thinking rubber mats (think weight gym floors) on the floor and carpet on benches. What are the best way to install these options? Do i have to put wood on the benches for the carpet installation?

What you guys got?

Build front/rear decks with storage. Use hydroturf on the decks

Are you on Facebook? Search for the page "Henderson Fishing Reports" and ask to join. There's a couple of really good boats on there for sale for really good prices. Also, people will usually sell trolling motors, electronics, rod n reels, etc...

Also, they'll help answer questions about the area and offer up tips. Good group.

Sorry about the rest of your day, and any money you happen to have right now. Post pics as you work on it. Before you go buying stuff though, you may want to take the boat for a spin and see how you like fishing out of it as is. I personally wouldn't put a deck on anything less than a 48" bottom, as anything less just isn't stable enough to stand comfortably and you're gonna wish you had that space back.

In order for it to be a true bass boat, you'll have to get some real glittery paint. Make sure that sucker sparkles in the sun.
